Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh
The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh's Anaemia Coordinator is dedicated to managing anaemia in renal patients. This service includes arranging necessary tests, monitoring results, and liaising with consultants to ensure comprehensive care. Patients and their families often call for anaemia-related queries, making it a vital resource for ongoing management. While specific wait times aren't provided, contacting the coordinator during renal unit operating hours is recommended for prompt assistance. For general appointments, a separate team handles scheduling, so ensure you reach the correct department for your needs.
